What it is, do not adjust your sets or your volume. It is Tyrus filling in for the great Brian Kilmead on the Brian Kilmead Show. And I'm gonna start. It's a little awkward this morning. I came in to fill in for him, and he left this.

Apparently, he's too cheap to buy 8x10s, and he has artist renditionings laying around his office to remind me that it is his show.

So, not necessary, Brian. I think your name on every corner of this office and the height of this desk lets everyone know this is your show. But good morning, everyone. Excited to be here. I'm going to start out a little bit somber.

I want to talk about, take a moment to reflect on the great Lindsey Graham. I had the opportunity to meet him a couple of times, and he was one of the nicest, coolest dudes in the room. He knew my name, which was shocking to me because a lot of times when you meet career, big-time politicians, they don't necessarily know who you are. They need someone to run over and introduce you. And he knew who I was exactly and was like, Hey, Tyrus, how are you doing?

And I was really impressed by that. But I want to play real quick some thoughts. Senator Dick Durbin has some really I think sums it up best. I would like to take a moment to recognize his lifetime of public service. both in the state of South Carolina and our nation.

I served with Lindsey Graham in the Senate for more than two decades. And during that time I counted him as a trusted friend. I will tell you, Mr. President, that my friends and supporters back in Illinois many times would just shake their head and say, Durbin. What are you doing with Lindsay?

You shouldn't be working with him. They didn't know how the Senate works and they certainly didn't know him. Yeah. He was proud to be a fierce Republican partisan. But he never lost sight of the need to work across the aisle to make a difference in the lives of Americans.

You know, because he put the job, he put the country over a tent. He was a patriot. And I think, in the strongest definition of that word, And I think And I hate to say this, but in the time that we are living in right now, we don't have much trust or faith in our politicians, especially in the House or Senate. Um Especially when it comes to one particular thing. Net worth.

And we see a lot of House members and Senate members who are millionaires, hundred millionaires, own three and four mansions, summer homes, fly private jets, et cetera. His net worth at the time of his passing was what it should be for a person who has been Serving In public service his entire li his life. And I I just can't That is all the evidence you need in terms of Who he was as a person and what It meant to him to be a Republican, to be a senator, and more importantly, to be an American. And that to me, we lost one of the good ones. And that that to me is a little scary.

Or I'm hoping will inspire Americans across the country to look at The character of the person that represents their state. Not What animal you vote for, whether it's a donkey or an elephant, or whether they how many followers they have on social media or auditions or mainstream media promoting them as something they're not. Listen to the words that they say. And most importantly, after what they say, the actions that come behind them. If someone is running to represent you, And the only thing they're doing is attacking the other side.

That is not a person who has any interest in running. for you, representing you, they are trying to get a job. for themselves. And I think across the board, Nobody could say that for Lindsey Graham. And listen.

He was the one guy who didn't always have the greatest relationship with the president. He ran against him. They feuded. They had issues. They had arguments.

But when it came time, for policy when it came time to doing the right things for America. There was no issues there. And he would work across the aisle, and it wasn't just For the sake of saying, actually, he never really talked about it. He talked about his plans and his policies. And I think that's what was so rare Uh and it shouldn't be.

But we're going to miss him. Not just for the person he was, but for the work he did, because he was one of the few guys that didn't fall into the trap. Of of Picking one side, And becoming against everything the other side is doing. And we understand now, and it is my opinion, that the reason why they do that so often is because it's more profitable. You make a lot of money from lobbyists and special interests and NGOs and all that stuff.

Suggest disrupt. to be anti-Trump. And if a w if a Democrat's in, you're anti-Democrat. That doesn't help the American people. That doesn't help.

our country, and we've seen the results of that. We saw during the pandemic, we saw during the Biden administration, we're seeing with what when President Trump both of his terms when he was in, were they just the answer is no no matter what because they don't like him. And so it is it saddens me that we lose Uh such a great man, uh, so early, uh, you know. The other side of it is And take it from somebody who had to lose a bunch of weight. Because I wanted to be around for my kids.

You have to, no matter how busy you are, no matter how much you are fighting, working, paying bills, chasing the American dream, you have to take care of yourself. You have to go to doctors. You have to stay on top of things, especially when you're getting older. Man, I know. Particularly, because I only speak for one because that's what I am, and I'm not.

You know, not transitioning any time soon.

So, when it comes to your health, we kind of have this invincibility complex where we. Think, oh, we're fine, we're fine. And I was like that for a long time. And I beat my body up in sports. And bodyguard and wrestling, powerlifting, all that stuff, football.

And I kind of had this thing where I'm fine, I'm fine. If I don't see anything, I'm fine. I don't need to go to doctors. A lot of people feel that way. You go to a doctor, you get sick.

But when it comes to when you're. You need to stay on top of seeing a physician. Learn as much as you can about your diet. If you have any heart issues, they're not going to go away. You need to make sure you take care of yourself.

And I think, unfortunately, we have to learn. All of that. Since I'm uh rifting here about Mr. Graham. He did some amazing things.

He was a really outstanding person. And It's sad that I did a lot of the stuff that I didn't even know about, you know, particularly about how he adopted his sister. That is. Absolutely. Stand up.

And they had a very close relationship. And I want to play a quick flashback, number six, where he's talking about this is then to just give you some context. This is when he was running for president in 2015, about giving his sister a role should he win. If she took a role on, she would be a great representative of our country. I can't think of a better person to represent our country in an event than my sister.

So he was on top of everything else, he was a family man. And when you lose both your parents, you can become a bitter person. You can, you really learn about who you are when the chips are down. And he was just. I'm just so impressed.

That we didn't really No uh A lot of these things because he wasn't a braggadocious man, he was a direct man. He took on problems. He didn't care. Whether you and the guy that he was working with They would play golf together, or they would be friends. He cared about getting things done for the American people.

And I didn't always agree with everything that he was about. And there were times that I would hear some of his things, and I'd be like, I don't like that. I don't agree. But that's the whole point. I think we all should have discourse.

We all, like, if you believe in absolute everything, if you agree with everything President Trump says, and you agree with. You're really not, it's like the person who's friends with everybody, which means you're friends with no one. That you have to have Your belief system, and you're not going to see eye to eye on everything. And that's the point: is when you don't see eye to eye on things. That's when you have debate.

That's when the best ideas come about. Just every time someone says something like, yes, I'm in. Yes, I'm in. Yes, and you're that yes man thing, but it ends up hurting everyone the long one. And nobody wins because eventually you're going to be backing bad ideas and mistakes, and nobody is going to look at you with any credibility.

If you cannot stand your ground on the things you believe in, And I believe the term is that you find the hill you're going to die on. Uh And that's important too. Again, it goes to the other side, which we see literally President Trump will come out and be like, I have a cure for cancer. And Half of the Senate. A little less than half because we can't let them have more than half right now.

Would literally be like, what? You didn't cle you didn't cure the cold? Like they would just find something to be Negative about. And Lindsey Graham was not those things. And I'm going to run one more, number seven.

This is Governor Henry. McMasters uh talking about um Yeah. His sister and uh Possibly filling Lindsey Graham's tennis seat. Lindsay took care of his little sister. in years long departed.

Uh It's my honor to ask his little sister, Darlene Graham, to finish his work for him now. I want to thank the governor for selecting me to serve the remainder of Lindsay's term. It is such an honor. Lindsay has always been there for me. And nail.

I will be there for him. I just, I don't know. I get goosebumps when I hear this, when I hear her voice. We were talking that reminds her. What were you saying?

That reminds her you of. Was it Denim Moore from Landmore? Denine Moore. Landmore, they have the same voice. And I was like, I only watched a couple episodes of that, but yeah, I'm with you on that.

But. I just I think We definitely know uh his his His Work will continue. And his sister and him had a really amazing relationship. And I just think, uh, Governor, well done. And I think we're in good shape South Carolina is in good shape, and I hope In his passing, It would be a wake-up call for those who are serving the American people.

Uh to be better. Do better. Put the country first, and put your wallet. back in your back pocket where it's supposed to be. Again, uh Wherever you are, sir.

I wish you well. And um You can rest now. Keeping you informed, engaged, and always a step ahead. It's the Brian Kill Meat Show. Cheers to America's 250th birthday.

Mm-hmm. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. What it is, Tyrus in filling in for Brian Killmead today. And honestly, man, I know that it's funny because feeling, being in his little guys, Office.

It's I'm I feel trapped. I literally feel like a a A buffalo and a in a china shop. Like I'm just even his little keyboard and stuff, I can't fit my knees under it. I got to sit back. Like even his headphones are a little tight.

But last night on the on the Guffel show, I was I was hosting and we talked a lot about the we talked about the bison. Incident. And I was looking over some of the comments, and it was everything from ranging, like, how could you possibly make a joke about this? And, and then, you know, there was a lot of funny stuff. And they were like, Uh apparently they there was some rumor that he had a Miami Dolphins shirt on and And uh the you know, Go Bills, you know, and there was one that said like Bison one, Grandpa Zero.

But uh, you know, and there was one in particular, this person was like, he was within the required 24 feet, you know, and this, and I'm like, whom do you think explained that to the bison? Like, hey, hey, hey, relax, bro. He's 25 feet out. Like, they just. Mother Nature doesn't follow the rules that we have.

In line, you know, like we just assume you should always, always. Uh, respect mother nature. And I'm like I said, I like being the outdoors. I have a lot of pets. I've Like I said, early in college, I wanted to be a zoologist, and I just wasn't.

That hip on the dissection labs, it got pretty, you know, got pretty rough in there. And when it was like, Time to cut up puppies and stuff, I I I tapped out. And I get it because it's the science of things, but as far as Mother Nature, I enjoy it a lot. And a little-known Tyrus fact is that during my time at the University of Kearney at Nebraska. I spent some time on a bison ranch.

And uh they raised bison for their meat, which is Freaking delicious. Bison steaks and ground beef. Bison burger is the best burger ever. Like, it's just absolutely phenomenal. And one of the things that was going on during that time was everyone was trying to breed.

Bison with cows to make beefalos, which was going to revolutionize The the meat industry. A couple of things didn't quite go to plan. One, uh, the beefalo were sterile, so you couldn't like breed 'em and uh you had always had to do it from a bison and and cow. situation and there was some Deformities, we'll just say that. It's not a good match.

And so it didn't really work out.

So a lot of farmers who ran out and bought all these bison to make beefalo were now stuck with bison. And um Where I was uh Visiting and working out for a little bit of the summer, they had a large herd of bison. I think it was almost like 60 animals. And there were some rules, and there were some things that you needed to know at all times. And the one thing about a bison is that they don't keep secrets.

They are they Their tail is Basically What you need to watch. A lot of people see, because of dog owners, you see a wagging tail on a dog, you think it's a happy thing.

Well, we also know now that that also can mean nervous and you can get bit by a wagging tail. A bison, if you go back and you look at that video, when he's rolling around, he's also letting you, he's wagging his tail. Excessively, letting you know that he is extremely agitated. When they wag their little tail, That means you need to go away. Go away now.

Then, when that tail goes straight up, it is get in whatever religion you have, now is the time. And that's what the charge You should always keep your distance. And they're as not as big and powerful as they are, they spook easy. And I One of the scariest moments of my life, and a real test to my best friend. Bashon.

Uh we were Out there, and we had, you know, at the bison ranch, so they had steers, they had bison, they had horses. And They had this thing where after they would uh Slaughter the bison for the meat and stuff. One of the things is that they sold the skulls, the horns, the The the pelts, all that stuff was used. And they would dry the skulls out on a fence. And the fence was like a walkway.

And on one side of it was steers, who can be little bastards themselves. Like a steer is not, they can be dangerous as well. Don't sleep on cows. Cows can be dangerous. I know, like cow tipping, good luck.

First of all, can't do it. But, anyways, it can be dangerous. You have steers on one side, you have bison on the other side. And you have to walk down this alley, and they have the feed troughs, and you walk down this alley. And you get to the fence, and that's where the skulls are.

And one of the things they have workers do to show that they've got it is they walk down, you have to walk down between the alley and pull a tooth. Out of the skull of the butt, and then they make a necklace out of it. And I wanted to do this, and my friend wanted to do this. And so we started walking quietly, gingerly. Down the thing, not because if the thing is this, uh, Steerable will Fuck around and hit the bar, a bison herd will go into a stampede, like it looks like a tornado, and they can jump.

And we get a halfway down there and almost there, almost there, and a damn farm cat jumped up. and the bison spooked. I ran and left my friend. And uh He was just stuck there. He froze.

I got to the thing. I did get the tooth. Albeit, but me and him weren't white for a long time.

So, when it comes to bison, respect the distance, pay attention to the signs, and leave them alone. This is Tyrus in the Brian Killman Show. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Killmade.

So we're doing another Verd Major attack tonight. They want to make a deal. They came back. We made a deal two days ago and they want to make a deal. They've been negotiating for 47 years, but nobody's ever hit them militarily.

We're hitting them very hard. Yes, he's they are definitely I believe the term is F around and find out on what happens when you you break your word with the United States. And the President is doing what needs to be done. And joining me now to discuss this, one of my favorite people, and he's been gracious enough to come on the last few times I've had the opportunity to host. The Brian Kilmead show, but Lieutenant Colonel Alan West, American Constitutional Rights Union Executive Director.

Man, what a title. Former congressman in Florida's 22nd congressional district in the House from 2011 to 2013, and just a great all-around man. Mr. West, thank you so much for joining me today. Hey Tyras, it's a pleasure to be with you and thank you for those kind words, my friend.

Oh, yeah.

So, you know, I can't think of anyone better to discuss all things I ran with right now. And at the top, President Trump makes a strong distinction between the forty-seven years of. Baseless negotiations because apparently the only thing that they understand is. Forceful negotiations. Yeah, yeah, in the Middle East, two things is most respected is strength and might.

And when you're dealing with a totalitarian, theocratic, maniacal regime whose whole reason for existence is this return of the hidden Imam, the Mahdi, and the fact that you have to have a catastrophic event for that return and then their global domination, you cannot sit down and, as it says in the book of Isaiah, come let us reason together. That's not going to happen.

So the only thing that you can do is put them in a position where that regime ends up collapsing. You have to separate it out, and there can never be normal relations with people that are deeply rooted in that theocracy that they have.

So I think right now the president realizes that you cannot talk with these people. The whole thing about a business transaction, having a deal with them, is nonsensical, truthfully. And so you have to go after their centers of gravity, which is them being able to have oil and gas revenues. have seen the Department of Treasury now going after the personal finances of the Supreme Leader. And I think that you'll see more of the personal finances of those in leadership be taken after.

And yes, the United States of America needs to have control of the Strait of Hormuz and not the number one sponsor of Islamic terrorism in the world having control of that strait. What it what and you you may hit on the thing, they You cannot negotiate with a group that does not see any value in your existence. No. Or in their existence. And that's the one thing is like, what type of leader?

would see his country being blown to hell. and would play with his Civilians' lives the way they do. They absolutely put no value in their people. They don't care if they starve. They don't care.

They will, if they speak out against them, they execute them.

So, really, I think the only way this thing eventually is going to work is when there is no more Ayatollahs. I think that's the only way. the Iranian people will ever get a whiff of freedom. No, you're absolutely right. And when you look at the Iranian people, they're Persian, first and foremost.

And it's a very young population, and they want to have those liberties and freedoms. Just look at what recently happened with the Iranian girls women's soccer team there in Australia, who many of them sought to seek us out. They didn't want to go back. And how shameful it is that all of these feminists and women, Megan Rapinoe, and where were their voices then to stand up and speak out for those women? Or any of these feminists speaking out for the women who suffer such horrific conditions there in Iran?

You hear nothing from them.

So yes, the Ayatollahs, Moolahs, clerics, Imams, all of these people cannot be in a leadership position. And I think that when you see that radical theocracy that they have there, you cannot have a normal country. as long as those people are in some semblance of control. I mean, and you make that that is amazing that this is the one situation that you would think. Women across the world.

Yeah. And the the blowback would be Almost as devastating as a physical military attack, but there's no It's basically deaf. You hear nothing, but yet you will hear all the complaints in the world about. America You know, whereas it's just absolutely. You know, they'll sit there and argue about wanting boys playing in women's sports all day.

But they won't stand up for women who who will have their In a lot of cases, heads cut off where they show their face or speak out or try to educate themselves or drive a car. Like, it's just absolutely insane. Yeah, hung in public or beaten in public because their hijab or their dress is not properly worn and things of this nature. Or look at some of the things that have happened in Afghanistan. You know, I just saw last night the clip of someone posting out there this LGBTQ cruise ship that is being denied entry.

All of a sudden, it's Donald Trump's fault. It's not the fault that these people are, these are Muslim countries and they have no regard for gay, lesbian lifestyles. As a matter of fact, that's something punishable by death. Yeah, throw you off a building. Stone you.

Yeah, so again, why aren't we standing up and saying in this 250 year of our independence that there are people that disregard some of the basic human rights, liberties, and freedoms that we embrace here in the United States of America?

So I think that we have to do a better job of really demonizing the Iranian regime and who they are and what they have done to their people and get that clear. And I think, again, You know, Donald Trump has to finally understand you cannot make a deal with the devil. You can only do one single thing, and that is to destroy him and to defeat him. They are weakened, there's no doubt about it, but they are still a very arrogant, belligerent, obtuse regime, and therefore you have to defeat them. Right.

You know, he made some comments on um on plans to Charge for the block eight passage. And I'm going to play that for you so you can hear it and get your thoughts on that. We've had ten deals with these people. And so we're just going to hit them very hard. And we're gonna keep the strait and we'll probably run it.

We'll become the guardian of the strait. We guarded the strait for 50 years more. And we never got paid for it. They made all the money, and the United States was just, you know, not, they wouldn't, it's amazing. It's uh we we never make we guarded it for nothing.

And now we're going to guard it, and we're going to get paid for guarding it. A lot of money. But we just want to be reimbursed for doing all of this, for putting our people in danger. But we're really not putting people, we're really saving people. You know, I think Yeah.

I can't see where the contention comes from that. I can't see the blowback. I mean, that it sounds like it just. It makes sense to me. And it has nothing to do with being a Republican or a Democrat.

This is how you deal with monsters. No, you're absolutely right. And again, you're looking at our nation has really worked toward energy independence.

So much of the oil and gas revenue, I mean, resources that are coming, this is flowing for the rest of the world to include our number one geopolitical foe, which is China.

So if we're the ones that are opening up that straight, then we should have some benefit. These are our young men and women who are standing on the ramparts to keep that straight open.

So there should be some benefit for them as well as the resources that we have, the munitions that we are using, the energy resources that we're using for our ships and for our helicopters and for our airplanes.

So yes, there should be some compensation to the United States of America for that. And again, when you look at all of these resources that we have frozen from the Iranians, let's use that for the victims of the terrorism here in America from the Iranians. Going back to 1983, the 241 Marines, sailors, and soldiers who were killed in the Beirut Barracks bombing, or those who have lost their limbs or lost their lives because of the explosive force penetrator IEDs that they brought to the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So we should definitely, that's part of an America-first policy if you want to look at it that way. You know, and I also think sometimes we are a. In terms of dealing with Uh enemies like that. We almost are are handicapped in the sense that We fight and we abide by rules. And they don't.

You know, and I think they they know that. You know, and they And they almost I think it was Machiavelli who said the biggest problem with dealing with your enemy is that you don't fight under the same rules. No, you're absolutely right. And I will tell you that that has been one of the problems we have had ever since we started fighting against Islamic terrorism and jihadism because they don't have any rules whatsoever. We try to have the rules of the land of law of land warfare, things of this nature.

So I think right now what we're doing is we're prosecuting a combat operation that is going after their military assets. They are going after any civilian target that they wish and that they desire, which is their nature. And even when you look at the Israelis in Gaza, I mean, who goes out and sends telephone messages or text messages and say that we're about to strike right here. Please evacuate this area.

So people are doing everything they possibly can to accommodate the lessening of civilian casualties, but yet you're dealing with a regime that back in January this year, 30,000, 40,000 executed a 19-year-old wrestler, one of their quote-unquote nationalists.

So we have got to unleash the full power and might, diplomatic, informational, military, economic against this regime and send a message to the people that want to support Islamic jihadism and terrorism. Because You know And you make a great point. With the How they deal with stuff because when Israel and when America does tell them, hey, the bomb is coming, a lot of times that's they'll move their civilians into that area. Oh, yeah.

They will hide their military in hospital and schools and then put the children in there knowing. That it's coming. And then, you know, of course. The pushback is, you know, that we're, you know, the ridiculous woke thing is that America is participating in genocide. No, it's, it's, it's.

It's absolutely laughable. And I do. Here's the thing: I think to play devil's advocate. Because the oil that's coming out of there and the resources that are coming out of there is more for the rest of the world. I guess there could be an argument made, we'll let them figure it out.

But the the problem with that, I think, is that they don't.

Well, the people on the ground there don't have the ability to figure it out because, guess what? Unlike us here in the United States of America, we have this little thing called the Second Amendment. I know that the left would like to eradicate that.

So maybe they can just. Yeah, well, they want to have the same ability that you see the regime in Iran has. That's the Marxist nature. But, you know, the people in Iran want to have a better way of life, a better quality of life. And they're tired of seeing all the revenues from their oil and gas industry be done for what?

To export terrorism, to support Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and who knows whomever else.

So, yes, I think that if there's one thing that we can do, we can set the conditions for some type of toppling of this regime internally by making sure that the regular army of Iran can side with the people and stand up against the Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is kind of like the Praetorians. I mean, they protect the regime. And you're also dealing with a lot of Because some of the things, when they talk about negotiating, I'm like, with who? Because a lot of these generals and these things are basically warlords and they're pirates, and whatever one group says they're going to do, the other side's like, and then they'll go shoot missiles. You know, so they're not, it's really a broken system with, and it has no desire to fix itself.

Even if we were to flood them with money, they wouldn't be building schools and homes. They'd be finding a way to build new missiles. I mean, it just. Yeah, go ahead. No, I mean, you're absolutely right, because again, it comes back to their theocracy.

They could care less about their people. It is all about what they believe in, which is quite demented, deranged, delusional and maniacal. And then I'll cook uh just because I I I love every time he opens his mouth, it's a good chance for me to just. show what the what the worst is in being a a Public officials will be serving the people, and that's Senator Adam Schiff. Uh he had a he had some he had some thoughts.

On uh Meet the Press. Uh I'm gonna play this for you. It's very difficult to see the way out of what has become a kind of a quagmire. This memorandum of understanding was so vague that you see all the problems with essentially agreeing to agree in the future. I think you're also seeing the problems with embarking on a war of choice, a war that the President got this country involved in, not because we were attacked or because there was an imminent threat of attack, but because he chose to do so.

It was, I think, ill thought out. He never came to Congress for any authorization, so it was also unconstitutional and unlawful.

So, pretty much everything he said there was a lie. Yeah. And not a threat. Sir, our borders were open for four years. Yeah.

And we were flooded with military aged men. Yes. Millions out we we still don't know. Because it was just They were being bussed in the night. They were.

I can, I travel every week for work. I. I can remember seeing flights going out. I'm like, we don't get red eyes. Why do they do?

Yeah. You know, and I just, real quick, I always, I could talk to you for hours, sir. I just learn. It's the being under the learning tree with you is phenomenal. I learn every time, and I just.

I really enjoy our time together. But just get your last thoughts on this and then I We were out of time.

Well, I will tell you that where was Adam Schiff when Barack Obama unconstitutionally outsourced our military to Islami jihadists in Libya? He didn't say anything, and that went on for seven months. Where was Adam Schiff and the rest of these Marxist leftists when Barack Obama and Joe Biden were providing billions of dollars back to Iran, which did not, as you say, go to improving schools or infrastructure. It went to vomiting terrorism.

So again, the hypocrisy is laughable. Yeah, and I I just want to say, man, I appreciate you taking time out to come on and discuss things, man. And you are just a fountain, fountain of knowledge. And I appreciate your time, sir. And at some point, please consider getting back in there.

We need you.

From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest-growing radio talk show. Brian Killmead. What it is, this is Tyrus filling in for Brian Kilmead on the Brian Kilmead show. I always have to say his name twice. Joining me now is Reagan Charleston, attorney from New Orleans, Louisiana, longtime friend.

Also, a mom and doing a lot of things on TV lately.

So, congratulations. Thank you for coming in studio. What a surprise. I just want to get rated, first of all. What's going on with you?

How's things you're in New York? I'm in New York. We've got an office here in Westchester. And so I came to work with my partner. And yeah, I'm doing news all over.

So it's been a busy week. But a lot of cases filed and stuff going on. Kids.

Well, hey, thank you for taking the time today to join The Kill Meet Show and myself. And listen, actually, the reason why I brought you on or wanted to talk to you to get not just a woman's perspective, but a lawyer's perspective. is the whole the the grant Platiner debacle. Probability. Human beings on paper to ever run for office.

If I'm, you know, the Nazi tattoo alone, I thought, was disqualified. We should have known. Yeah. Everybody. I mean, I think we did.

I think, yeah, the people of Maine, maybe. And the mainstream media really worked. That to me is the most shocking thing: how it was such a concentrated effort to protect. Such a On paper. Awful person, yes.

And The worst, the most the one of the worst stories came out right before And I always I always hate when something drops right before an election because I feel like. It should have come way earlier. But um Jake Tapper had an interview with, and I don't know if I'm going to say her name right. Jenny. Raycott?

Is it Ratcott? Raycott. Raycott, I did it. Wow. I did it.

Awesome. And um It was about that the incident between her and him was not consensual. And I'm going to play number 26 for you. Is there any way that he thought this was consensual or no? Just because I was a little bit of a drink, that scenario is consensual.

you have to you have to understand that that wasn't when somebody is repeatedly I mean, when somebody in the middle of it says, Don't touch me, like, that's obviously not consensual.

So Not consensual means rape. Correct? Correct. And I guess And then I'm just going to keep rolling through if we can just hear them all, and then we'll discuss. If you could go into 27, please.

I know that you have been very reluctant to tell this story. Very reluctant. Why did you ultimately decide to do it? Why Why come forward? A few reasons.

One of the biggest ones is that I think that there are a lot of men in this world relying on the silence of women. and to be where they are. and they don't want to contribute to that. I also want to just get my life back.

So when she said that I was that Makes sense, right? The wording is was a little weird to me, but um I guess you could understand where she's coming from as a a woman. Not just as a woman, as a sex abuse attorney. Like I you know, I Filed these cases. I work with survivors.

And this is not uncommon. This is something that I hear from everyone coming forward: traumatic. It's difficult. It's never going to sound perfect. It's not going to seem linear to other people.

And so listening to her. You know, I get that gut punch feeling because that's something that you hear from a lot of people. And I can imagine that sitting and watching. Platinum take off, and you know, she's watching him potentially get elected, and everyone's celebrating him, had to be really hard to stomach and probably propelled her to come forward. And I like what she said about, you know, relying on the silence of women, but not just women, people that have been through traumatic experiences and sexual abuse.

And I don't find it unusual that she's just now waiting to come forward. I think that it probably pushed her to come forward because to deal with that and then to see him potentially get elected is. Right, and that's exactly why I asked you because, as a man, and not just an alpha man, I'm just a giant man, I don't, you know. If I say no, it ain't happening.

So, um So, for that way of looking at it, I didn't even think of it that way.

So, for me, that gives me a little bit of clarity. And then we'll go on to 28. There are going to be people, maybe even his campaign, certainly his supporters. Who says this is politically motivated? What would you say to that?

I couldn't disagree more. That was actually one of the reasons that I. didn't come out. Because you agree with his politics. I do.

I really agree with his politics. I think we need somebody with. Those political stances and who are willing to do the work. And, you know, I see his political videos. They get me fired up as well.

I understand why people want someone like him in office. You know, and I felt like me coming forward would essentially potentially take that away. And I felt really uncomfortable with the responsibility of. and the weight of my story and and what that might do. That Blows my mind.

I would again. From the man's perspective. I would think the sound of his voice would make you sick. You know, and I guess that's where I'm like. It had to have been really hard for her to come forward.

And I think it's a powerful. Thing to do considering how much focus is. We're not talking about someone that's coming forward against a non-public person. Like, she knew this was going to be a media firestorm, and she had to really weigh her options here. And I don't know, man, it'll smoke and fire.

Like, there was a lot of smoke here. And, you know, I'm not surprised that we're going to find out more. Right. This, we're probably just starting to peel back the layers of the onion because this onion stinks. This onion stinks.

And I'm sure there are going to be more women that come forward. And we're going to find out more about him as you know. You know, the cat's out of the bag. Yeah. And here's the thing: he is not a guy that I want to, or anyone, really wants to defend.

He's a grifter. This dude is a terrible human. He's a Nazi. And I can say that with: I don't, you didn't not know what tattoo. I know every tattoo I put on exactly what it means.

Reference. Yeah, that one. Yeah. Oh, and not just anyone. The premier tattoo, the top of the line Nazi, the concentration camp insignia on your chest, pretty specific.

Everything about this guy is just gross. Like, he's a grifter. He was just a silver spoon boarding school brat. And then he tried to pretend, and he was successful being the, you know, the everyman blue collar. I'm just an oyster farmer.

No. No clients. No, yeah. No, you're also a rapist. Yeah.

And an anti-simite. Like, let's make a list of all of the things. Bad. And he came so close to getting away with it. Like that is the shocking part.

Okay, now you just said something. Get away with it. One of the things that I kind of was like, because unfortunately, there have been false allegations and people's lives have been potentially almost ruined, especially during the Me Too era in particular, like where it was just believe all women, you know, and I believe everyone should be heard, but then it should be the facts need to be. You got to investigate. You have to vet allegations.

And that's something that we do in our practice. We vet every case to make sure people are telling the truth. But Sex abuse and sex assault is real and it happens a lot. And it doesn't discriminate whether you're successful or rich or you're an oyster farmer or an Ivy League boy or a woman. Women are abusers too.

So, like, you know, you vet the case, you look at the facts, you investigate, you look at the evidence and you determine. In this case, like, we knew, like you said, zunyan stinks.

So I don't think any of us are surprised.

Now, before you came on the air, you looked up some statues, so I guess the. The question is someone would be like, why not coming forward? is one thing and to do it on in front of the whole world. Why not put his ass in jail? You know, there's no indication that she's pursuing criminal charges.

There's no indication that she's filed suit in a civil court. And I can't say I know the particular facts on what year this happened and whether she's within the civil statute or not. For the criminal statute, I just pulled it up. I think I'm not familiar. I'm not a main lawyer, but it looks like it's 20 years.

So potentially charges could be brought. It's hard. It's hard when they're in an older case. I mean, there's not going to be physical evidence. You're going to be relying on basically the victim survivors.

testimony at that point. But, you know, we'll see. I mean Maybe Maine will decide to investigate. Because the state could pick it up. without necessarily her pressing charges.

And I'm s and I would think With not just the fact that Any man or any one who touches anyone. without permission should be prosecuted. But I would think given The stain this pis put on main that if there was a bad actor, And there clearly was. who was going to try to represent you. Not just him.

But a message to other. Nazi loving rapist Bastards. I mean, we're not talking about a wolf in sheep's clothing. Like, he was in wolf's clothing. Like, he was like, I am a wolf.

Yeah. And look at me. And the media protected him. And that's another thing. How.

New York Times and these people who interviewed these women. and then water down their stories. How Civili uh sh wouldn't she possibly have a suit there as well? There are probably many things that we can look at and talk about. I mean, it's shocking all the way around.

That this happened. And because it's been months. Yeah. Months that we've known about potential allegations. And it's like everyone was just covering it and kicking it, sweeping it under the rug, kicking sand over it.

And it's. Here we are. I mean, his computer history. Has to be I mean, he was on. Kick, which is, I didn't even know about it.

I didn't heard. I thought it was something like struggling athletes and actors did to try to get relevant again. Apparently, it was. Yeah, it was it's a dating it's a a place where predators look for underage kids. And he's got a his his profile picture screams predator I mean, he's in a towel.

I don't know about this. I need to investigate. Yeah, it's absolutely, absolutely insane. It's absolutely insane. I don't understand why you would not make an example out of him.

I think that's still time. Yes, there is still time. And I think that's the reason why you kind of, again, we saw the same thing with like Swalwell. And it just seems like with these And it's always It was kind of every it was known but not talked about. Suspected, but you just kind of let go.

And these poor staffers that had to work with him, and unfortunately, she was dating him. Or they were on a date, or something to that extent. Is it Other people around in positions of powers were aware of it, and clearly. They're aware of it.

Now, I don't know if you saw the guy who was in charge of the vetting. He has that voice, and he was like, Oh, yes, I did. Oh, the voice. I was like, oh, of course this guy looked the other way. I mean, I hate to be like that on John.

No, he was in trouble. I just did a story on Gutfeld. He was in trouble too. We don't have that, do we? Cut 21.

I said none of this. Will or should I stop him from becoming a U.S. Senator? I think if what the voters wanted were people who were grown in vats and had never done or said anything that they might regret their entire lives, we'd have a very different country. Part of our thesis here is that people do not want their candidates grown in vats.

They want people who are real human beings. And they want people who do not look and sound like the vat-grown people who've been leading this country off a cliff for Last century, and that was Graham. The laughter you're hearing is not the interviewer. It's because that's a clip from the Gutfill show, just so you know. But Ray Nassau, he has a feel bad if he has some kind of issue.

No, you hear that same voice at Starbucks. But he has a Starbucks voice. He's a serious vocal fry, then. It's, you know, that's who vetted. Him.

Yeah, and it turns out that he needed vetting. Yeah, yeah. I mean, this is a failure on all levels. It's a complete quagmire, to say the best. And we got to go a break.

Will you come back on after the break? I will. All right, because we're going to talk a little bit more about this. All right, this is Tyrus filling in for Brian Kilmead on the Brian Kilmead show. From breaking news to big name guests, Brian brings you insight you won't hear anywhere else.

Tyrus is back filling in from Brian Kilmead, and Reagan Charleston is hanging around.

Now, one of the things that you were. One of the things that you do, you are not just a lawyer, you're an advocate. And uh you have been taking on uh social media. dealing with Uh sex trafficking and grooming and Uh the last time that uh We talked, I know you can't talk about your cases or your clients, so I won't be stupid enough to ask you those things, but have you seen at least a shift, more public awareness? Is social media being more, is there anything that's giving you more hope in this fight?

Or is it just this is the age of accountability, and I keep saying that. And so I'm on the steering committee in the California State Court for the suits against Meta and Snapchat, Google, and TikTok. And we just had our first bellwether trial.

So what happens in these large cases is that there are so many people that have been injured that they have to consolidate it. They can't possibly try all of these cases.

So you think about all the young people that have been hurt and all the children that have been hurt, that there are so many cases that they have to consolidate them and try what are called bellwethers. And they just can't feasibly try them all.

So we had our first bellwether in California state court just a couple of months ago. And it was a clean sweep for the plaintiff and this young woman, KGM, against Meta and Google. Snapchat and TikTok settled. We have a second bellwether that's coming up, and Snapchat is still in. TikTok and Google settled this case.

And the writing is on the wall. The evidence is extraordinary. The company is new. The stuff that Meta knew about how harmful its products were for children is shocking. They had Mark Zuckerberg on the stand.

He tried to worm out of testifying again in the second bellwether, and Judge Kuhl said, nope. You're showing up, you're testifying again. He's a professional witness. I think they said he had like 2,000 hours of training or something for his testimony. I mean, it's extraordinary.

Because you need training because you can't tell the truth. Right. I mean, I'm not a lawyer, but even I see that. He is a professional witness, though. I mean, it is, it's so, it's just unsettling to watch as an attorney, but the jury didn't buy it.

You know, the jury was polled afterwards and they did not find Mark Zuckerberg a reliable witness or a credible witness. They knew they saw right through it. They have social media. They see it in their homes every day. And the kids are like walking around glued to their phones.

I do not let my kids use social media. I mean, they're young, but even YouTube, I'm like, stay away from it. And that's something that I fight about all the time because you can't control everything that's happening when you're not there. But the science is there. Like the documents are there.

And, you know, it was designed to be addictive. It was designed to keep kids hooked. And they knew that it was hurting them.

So yeah, the social media stuff is, it's extraordinary. And I think that we're seeing this profound time where the public is finally aware. And that's part of the claims, the failure to warn. These companies did not warn parents that, hey, not only are your kids going to get hooked on this, but it's going to hurt them. And it's like big tobacco.

This is our big tobacco, where finally the public's like, this is so bad. We know it's bad, but they're targeting children. It's, you know, it's like a gambling mentality. The kids are just looking for that, that hit of dopamine. And it's just incredible.

And then on the flip side, the predators that are using social media to groom children, to sexually abuse children, the Roblox suits. I work on the Roblox suits too. Disgusting. And the companies know, they know, like you brought up kick. Yep.

They're well aware of what's going on with predators.

Well, the predators are in trouble because you're coming for them. Best of luck. Thank you so much for coming on. Reagan, Charleston. You will see her everywhere.

And again, this is Tyrus. Covering for Brian on The Brian Kilmes Show. Yeah. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

What it is. This is Tyrus filling in for Brian Kill Me. And if for those of you out there who are looking, here's a picture of Brian. Again, I don't know why he leaves. Yeah.

Artist renditions of himself around the office, but whatever, I'll just leave it over there. He even autographed it. Creepy, maybe that was a gift. I don't know. Speaking of a gift, uh, Joining me today, Elizabeth Pipko, former GOP National Spokeswoman, and we're going to talk a little bit about what's going on in this great country of ours.

Good morning. Good morning. There you are. Oh, Zoom. I was looking at the phone.

Well, thank you so much for joining us. I'm just going to get, obviously, I want to talk to you about a little bit of everything. But what's going on with Iran and the blockade in particular? And if we could roll number three and see what you get your thoughts on it. We're knocking out all of their offensive capability and we're controlling the straits, we're putting the blockade back, and it's a blockade not for anybody but Iran.

In other words, anybody doing business with Iran can't go through. Everyone else will be able to go through.

So it's a blockade, it's a very strong blockade. The blockade was probably more effective even than hitting them, but I think the combination is the thing that really does it. You know, I I talked Earlier, a little bit about this, but that seems to be where a lot of the mainstream media attacks about. Uh the Strait of Hormuz and the blockade, but I think this is very effective. Maybe he needs to change the name to the...

Uh I ran Cade. Hehehehe No, you're right. I think effective is the word that we're looking for because everyone in the United States seems to think that they have the foreign policy answer, right? All I've heard for the last four months, and I want to stress it has only been four months, is that Donald Trump promised no more forever wars as if four months could ever constitute a forever war. All I've heard is that whatever President Trump does end up negotiating with the Iranians could not compare it to Obama's deal.

Yet again, the deal Obama made, which I thought was a disaster, took two years to negotiate.

So everybody seems to want to scream, but no one is saying that what Donald Trump has done is no different than what's been done before. If anything, he's looking for an actual effective strategy this time and not to continue the policy of appeasement, is what I like to call it, that we've had with Iran for decades at this point, which leads to nothing except dead Americans and dead allies of ours around the world. And I think he has proven not only that we could decimate all of the infrastructure that the IRGC has, but also that he's not willing to bring a bad deal home to the United States and to the people of this country. And I don't know what more you could ask from a man who was critical. Of course.

Of the wars that came before him was critical of the Obama deal and said that we need to change drastically not only our relationship with Iran, but what the Middle East actually looks like. That's his goal for when he leaves office in two and a half years to have a very different Middle East. And it might take a little bit longer than four months. I think the average person would assume that it should. But with that, he's going to do everything differently than what happened before.

He's going to find the actual effective strategies. This is something that has certainly never been done before. And it's very easy to sit here in the U.S. and criticize, but at the end of the day, he's making the difficult decisions and I think going to institute more change than anyone before him ever could. You know, because one of the things that uh Forty-seven years of yeah.

Baseless negotiations. The one thing that I think President Trump has been very successful at is showing us exactly. Who they are. Because they have made several deals. Supposedly.

And I personally think as long as the Ayatollah Regardless of who it is. Is allowed to be at the head of that snake, no deal will ever be honored. And I think the the brute force Uh is the only thing they understand. I agree, and I think people honestly hear the critics of everything Donald Trump has done with Iran or Donald Trump in general. Yeah, to be honest, it's the same thing.

But they're talking about the issue, but they're talking through both sides of their mouth. They're realizing they can get away with saying anything, so that's exactly what they do. But again, the same people criticizing him for trying to negotiate with the Iranians truly believe that Barack Obama had a genuine two-year negotiation, came with a good deal at the end of it, and did it because you could have trusted the Iranians. All of a sudden, they're making fun of Donald Trump for wanting to trust the Iranians. Then they're angry at Donald Trump for admitting that you obviously cannot trust the Iranians.

They're angry at him when he bombs them. They're angry at him when he doesn't bomb them. Again, Donald Trump cannot do anything right with his critics. Everybody knows that. But anyone that cares about America's best interests, anyone that's followed this history knows what Iran and its proxies have done to United States allies around the world, and of course to us as well for 47 years, as you said, knows that this has to come to an end.

And with that, it means new effective strategies. It means a different kind of negotiation.

Sometimes it even means a conflict. It's horrible, but that's what has to happen to drastically change the relationship that we hold with the Middle East and for Donald Trump to leave office knowing, again, unlike everyone who came before him, he actually made a difference. He didn't just keep the ball rolling like Barack Obama's deal did, which, again, did not stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All it did was delay their ability to get that nuclear weapon and pin that problem on the next president. Donald Trump does not want to do that.

He doesn't want the future citizens of our country worried about a nuclear Iran. He wants to end this while he has two and a half years in office to do so. It may take longer than four months. It probably will and it probably should. It's a very complicated problem.

You're trying to negotiate with a monster who wants us off the face of the earth. With that, we have probably the best commander-in-chief we could have to get that done. And I truly believe the only person willing to risk any political capital, willing to risk the midterms, willing to risk it all to try and save the future of our country.

Well, you know, a couple of things. That uh I believe it w uh the term that the the left and the they like to use the word quality. Quagmire. That's their hot word when they talk about this. You want to talk about a quagmire?

A quagmire is millions of military-aged men flooding into this country over a four-year period. The quagmire is Barack Obama's administration made a deal. Clearly, it didn't work. Hence, we wouldn't have had to blow their nuclear. Development to holy hell because they were months away from having a functioning, you know.

They were a threat. They took they got their money back. They didn't invest in their people. They certainly didn't build new things for their people. They built their armada.

They funded terrorism.

So I don't understand how any commander in chief Sitting in that chair, would not have to take the same exact. Do we want to wait till we have? A a October seventh here. before we pay attention, because not just that, our allies who are in Firing distance of them. wake up every day in their backyard with the possibility of this monster.

And I think This action has brought all this to the table. And I don't, where are the feminists? Where are the liberals? People are for speaking their mind. A 19-year-old young man, athlete who was supposed to be the star of their country, was murdered.

People, what, thousands were brought out into the streets? Women are beaten, ceremoniously raped if they show their own. I mean, where, where, this should be, the liberals should be jumping all over this. Yeah. There's a lot of things the liberals should be jumping all over, including their own party right now, but they don't do that.

Look, you mentioned October 7th. I mean, the amount of effort that I have put in to try to explain to people that I meet on the street that October 7th is not just some isolated Israeli problem. Not only is Israel our ally, not only was October 7th launched by, obviously, Hamas, a proxy of Iran, that they would love to do here again in the United States or anywhere else in the world, but there were dozens of American lives lost on October 7th as well. When I was criticizing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for not working actively to get our hostages out, I was saying our hostages because there were Americans that were held hostage. There's a reason we have this alliance with Israel.

There's a reason they want Israel gone and the United States of America gone. There's a reason, as you said, that we have allowed apparently how many military-aged men into our country, which we now have proof of actual ties to Iran. We know that there are terrorists in our country. There are folks there who do not love America, who want to inflict harm. What happened on October 7th was a trial run for them.

That's what they want to inflict harm. 1,000%. I'm glad you made me say that. In the United States of America. That is their dream.

You know, because they have no desire to assimilate, because and that's another reason I think negotiations are a problem, because they don't see any value. In Our way of life. If anything, it is. You cannot negotiate with Someone who does not think that you are That you should your existence is necessary. Right.

Also, when you negotiate, you try to see who has what and what they can bring to the table. And the problem is that when we threaten them with military action, they don't really care because if Iranians are murdered, they were murdering Iranians before the conflict started. They were murdering their own. They worry about a few IRGC leaders, but as long as they can hide them, they don't actually care what damage America inflicts. Donald Trump was trying to avoid a conflict because when he was at the negotiation table, despite probably people in his administration telling him it's enough, we have to just bomb the crap out of them.

He was saying, I don't want to do that because I care about innocent Iranian life. He actually cares about innocent Iranian life more than the leaders of that country. This is an IRGC leadership who couldn't care less, who wants to slaughter their own in the street, who think it make them stronger to slaughter their own, and who celebrate when the United States of America slaughters their own because it means they have better talking points and can shout death to America even louder.

So for them, that is a victory.

So it's very hard to negotiate, like you said, with an actual snake who wants the death of their own people and the death of the United States of America and has no interest in good faith negotiations. The one thing I would push back is there's no reason to besmirch snakes. I own several and they're do you? Yes, yes, I do. Maybe you should be at the negotiating table.

You know what? Because I just feel like. And here's. I guess we could maybe some of the pushback is is that obviously Iranians' bloodline is their oil and their resources. And in America, we have become pretty self efficient.

So opening up to make sure, and even one of our biggest rivals relies on their for oil production. And we are still trying to be able to allow them to receive these goods. Even though necessarily Americans, we don't necessarily need the oil from Iran.

So, I guess the pushback is then let the other parts of the world. Handle this situation, America, and we can step back because at the end of the day, we can survive without. getting anything from Iran, but There is no Real allies coming, England, Spain, France. I mean, France was talking tough about Greenland, you know, of course, after the fact. But when there's no support, is it just because they're just so used to America solving their problems?

Or is it a deeper corruption than that? I mean, I think it could be a little bit of both. I think the average European citizen, for example, yes, they are very used to America solving all of their problems. I mean, think about the uproar that happened when Donald Trump appeared at a NATO summit and said, hey, no one is paying their fair share, and I'm going to put a stop to that. People thought it was the worst thing that had ever been said.

Meanwhile, Americans were like, oh, is that what it feels like when someone stands up for you for the first time? I mean, really, people were freaking out. People hate Donald Trump in Europe. And we always say the more they hate him, I at least say, the better it means he's doing for us because it means he's actually finally putting our country first. But I think when it comes to the real world, we have to be honest, we don't just have European allies who are cowering.

We also have many countries around the world that work with Iran. We have to worry about a North Korea and a Russia and a China and all these nations who want the United States to be weakened, who want the U.S. to fail, and who probably maybe more secretly than others, but who we know are working with Iran, who I think had a lot of a hand inside of the October 7th attacks and the planning of that, who want to see America's demise as well. And so we can't actually just sit. Back because if we just sit back, then that allyship gets so much stronger.

And, like you said, if we don't have Europe, we don't have the good guys ready to fight, but all the bad guys are ready to go. It doesn't put the U.S. in a good spot either.

So, for us, it's again back to that snake: cutting off the head of the snake, making sure Iran and China and Russia and everybody knows that America means business for the first time in a while. And we're going to put a stop to it so future generations never have to have this conversation again. And from the political side of it, I think the mass Um Immigration into you can't even call it immigration, but the flooding, the invasion in all the European countries. And they had a very, we still see the terrorist stuff, but They started running for p offices. They started running for it.

So now it's it's political, and then you get the woke aspect of it, and they keep talking things like free Palestine and all these absolute ridiculous Palestine doesn't exist, all these ridiculous. Things that have become political with the woke and the extreme left. And you're seeing countries refusing to do anything because they're worried about their own re-elections, they're worried about their own. Not wanting to upset their new communities. I mean, it's, it's, I think it's a far, it's.

far more Of a spider's web. Been a snake pit in terms of what is going on, and by us not falling in line. And standing ground and standing for the rights of our allies and human beings in general, mankind in general. I think we're starting to see a lot of these countries have been compromised. Buy places like Iran.

Yeah, by places who truly want the end to the Western civilization that I think we're all so proud to uphold. I mean, America is a beacon of light for people around the world who wish to live under our system, right?

So for us, we can't cower. And I mean, look, you mentioned the Europeans. I am. First in line to make fun of everybody in Europe. I have been called a nationalist by every friend I've had in Europe long before Donald Trump came into office because I truly bleed red, white, and blue.

I'm in love with my country and I made fun of them for not being in love with theirs. But this is what happens when you don't obsess over the country that you're from. You allow anybody in, you think every culture is welcome and every culture is equal. And you end up with a bunch of people who want to destroy your way of life and actually put you in harm's way. That's why it's never going to happen in America because we love our country too damn much to allow it to invade.

But it's happened all across Europe. They know that America is next. That's all that they want. That's why they have so many people flooding in here illegally to try and make that happen. And that's why we all have to hold the line, because America is too good.

We are the only ones keeping Europe okay, keeping the entirety of Western civilization alive, because we love our country too much, we love our values too much, and we're not going to back down to anybody who wants to end that. And I would, and if it happens there, eventually, it will be here. And I think the fact that we were able to close our borders, I think I read one report, there hasn't been one. Not one. Oh.

Gives us a chance to look what's going on in our country to get these cells out because they're here. And we see it, we see in our political front. And it was just a very different attack because it wasn't like what you would see in the movies. They no longer attack with bombs and guns. They go in our education systems and they groom there and they run for office there.

And we've seen it in New York with the socialists, pure and simple communism and absolutely anti-Jew in every aspect of it, which is anti-American. You go after one of us, you go after all of us. And I'm hoping that we will see more and more Americans take up our sides and stand up for what's right because we are a melting pot. But we also we don't put dangerous chemicals in our melting pot, and that's what we're getting from them.

So I got about ten seconds left. Thank you so much for coming on. Always enlightening. Appreciate you. And I'm sure I'll see you soon on the Gut Fill Show.

Thank you. Thank you. Hope to see you soon. All right. Thank you so much.

This is Tyrus filling in for Brian, the B-Rye, on the Brian Kilmead show. Big guests, bold opinions, better information. This is the Brian Killmead Show. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show.

What it is, is Tyra is filling in for the Brian Killmead Show. And I'd just like to take a minute to reflect. It has been And a very interesting summer, to say the least. We had the World Cup. Hats off to Team America.

They did the best they could given. the level of competition. And I think any time America gets to host anything. It's a real litmus test for what the real world. think so us.

And I think one of the coolest things was seeing people Coming from all over the world and just loving America, from our restaurants to our sports, to our cities, to our people. I think it was refreshing to see just how much Sometimes we forget how good we've got it here.

Sometimes we forget that we are a waffle house away from an awesome meal. That we can walk out and go to a movie, we can go to a baseball game, we can go do whatever we want to do, we can step out of our house and say we hate everything about this country and no one says anything. And if the government gets iffy, we got the Second Amendment to keep them in check. It is just, we live in a beautiful, beautiful place, and it's nice to see what the world really thinks, not a bunch of stuck-up politicians.

So, God bless America, and man, I'm glad I was born here. From high atop. Fox News headquarters in New York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Gilmead.

What it is, it is Tyrus filling in for B-Rye on the Brian Kilmead show today. And joining me shortly, shortly, shortly, shortly, will be the great Carl Rove. And hopefully, his little, his dry, is it a dry erase board, clipboard, the board, so to speak, with all this fancy technology going around today and AI and whatnot. I love the fact that he does it old school. The only thing older than that would be like if he had one of those little tiny chalkboards, but it's still cool.

And his vast knowledge on all things political and United States is. I'm excited to pick his brain today on a lot of things. And one of the things that, obviously, I'm going to ask him about is his relationship with Lindsey Graham, who is. passed away at the young age of 71. And so I'm very interested to hear about what was it like if they worked together, if they obviously worked together, but what that was like and what that means.

And at the same time, Um To talk to him about a little bit what's going on with our foreign, with our what's going on overseas with the United States.

So I think we've got him. Good morning, sir. Morning, sir. How are you filling in? Filling in for Or maybe this is a permanent gig, Taras.

Hey, you know what? I have the perfect face for radio, sir.

So exactly. Me too. I join you there.

Now, listen, you have one of the most impressive resumes.

So I'm just going to just for anyone who's been living under a rock who doesn't know who you are, sir, just former Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush and Fox News contributor. Obviously, we're all kind of shocked and saddened by the passing of Lindsey Graham. And I just wanted to play for you. Senator John Thune.

Who's talking about remembering Lindsay? And then just get your thoughts and some experiences that you had with him. I will miss Lindsay's friendship, Mr. President, more than I can say. We pray for his staff.

And for his family. whom he loved dearly. and who loved him dearly in return. But I am comforted by the knowledge. That in the end He has just changed his address.

And that one day, Mr. President. We will laugh together again. Spread the heel before. Heartwarming, to say the least.

And What a powerful statement. The only thing he changed was his address. Yeah. And I think a lot of people would say that about you too, sir. Yeah.

Uh Lindsey Graham was um Easy to love and hard to dislike. He was a smart, funny, Uh caring. Patriot who served his country in the military and then in the United States Congress and the United States Senate. And devoted his life to making our country better. You know, he was a legislator's legislator.

That's why both Democrats and Republicans liked him because he didn't take it personally and he was constantly trying to move the ball forward and would throw himself into convincing you that it was the right thing to do and listen to you and change if he thought you had a better idea. I mean, I remember Lindsey was constantly during our years in the White House. you know, pushing for things.

Sometimes in concert with us, sometimes without, but always with conviction and honesty and candor and a delightful sense of humor. He was very, very funny, and he could remove the tension in a room with a witticism that he probably picked up growing up in a pool hall in a barn a bar. But he'll be missed. I mean, he led the American life, Darus. I mean, he came from nothing and served in an august body that is embodied in our Constitution and critical to the to the democracy that we live in, the United States Senate.

You know, one of my concerns is that that That mold has been broken. You know, gentlemen like yourself, Mr. Graham, who But Country over party. That patriotism was more important than partisanship. And Unfortunately to the detriment of the country's overall well being.

I'm hoping in some way that this will inspire.

Some of the people who serve to take a hard look in the mirror about what's really important in this country. Yeah, look, there are lots of reasons why, you know, social media, the nature of the times, and personalities, but you're right. We've gotten to a point where people, you know, I'm going to get up in the morning and I'm going to figure out how I can get more retweets and drive up the number of people that are following me on social media. And I'm going to do it by saying things and doing things that are designed to elevate me, but in the process, demean the process and demean other people. And so Lindsay, you know, Lindsay was successful over these many years that he served in the Senate by not taking it personally and by not making it personal.

There were moments when he spoke out with deep candor. I remember his comments in the debate over Brett Kavanaugh's nomination of the Supreme Court, but it was powerful because it was.

so unusual for him to be that. Angry about something that Congress was doing, and it was because it was not in keeping with what he felt was the necessary responsibility of leaders to speak candidly and not to engage in mindless slaughter of each other for partisan political reasons. But yeah, I think you're right. This is a moment for us to reflect on him and why he was successful and to use him as a model because he was beloved by Democrats and Republicans. Senator Kloberschauer of Minnesota, I mean, she was clearly emotional in her comments about him.

And you saw, look, we're talking about the Republican leader in the Senate, and he's clearly overcome by emotion describing the death of his friend, the sudden death of his friend.

So, yeah, let's all learn from this. Let's all learn from the example of the three amigos, McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Joe Lieberman, men from different parts of the country, men with different. Different backgrounds, two of one party, one of another, who nonetheless were willing to talk and work and strive with each other to make our country better. And there are lots of people in the Senate like that. We just need to, and the House.

We just need to recognize them and applaud them. I mean, I was thinking of Todd Young and Mark Warner, who both shared a common concern. We got to do something about what happens if Taiwan is taken by the Chinese and we lose the source of 90% of the chips that drive our modern economy. And we had the CHIPS bill. We had the infrastructure bill, which was Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Transportation Committee saying, can we find a way to reauthorize the Highway Trust Fund like we do every five years?

And because it was so relatively easy to arrive at that agreement, can we agree upon things that we think are necessary to infrastructure projects that could be done without politics and in a reasonable fashion and move our country together?

So those moments happen. We've got a group of House members, Republicans and Democrats, who are combat veterans. I hosted one of them for a fundraiser in my home, and he talked about it. He said, We're Democrat and Republican veterans. Obviously, he was a Republican, but it was a fundraiser in my home.

Yeah, I gather that. Yeah, he said we've agreed to do two things, have lunch or dinner with each other on a regular basis to get to know each other as human beings, and second of all, to find one thing that we will do with somebody on the other side every year. And he proceeded to, this is August Pfluger of Midland, Texas, and he's talking about what he and Seth Moulton, a Democrat from the suburbs of Boston, were doing on a particular issue affecting veterans' health care.

Now, look, Midland, Texas and Boston are sort of like, you know, Venus and Mars or, you know, Venus and Uranus. I mean, they're very different, but here are two guys who are striving to find a way. Is there something that we can agree upon and something we can do together? And I think that's a healthy impulse that is being borne out and largely because of exactly what you put your finger on. People are fed up with needless partisanship and needless polarization.

Sure, we're not going to agree on everything, but when we disagree, we can do so respectfully. And we can also look for ways where we can come together. You know, and one of the things, and I'm just curious, during your time, there was more. Positive relationships across the aisle, correct? It was not uncommon for.

After a Tremendous debate. To the end. Go have a beer. Very close election. Yeah.

Yeah. There you go.

Well, look, we had an adult in charge. The first person that George W. Bush called when the Supreme Court upheld his election was George Miller, Democrat from California. Why? Because Miller had said in standing up to the teacher unions, we need to grade how we need to know how every child is doing by the fourth grade, and that requires us to test every child and report publicly the outcome of those tests so that we identify what schools and classes are succeeding and which are not.

The second call was to Ted Kennedy, who had made the same statement, standing up to the teachers' unions on behalf of school children. And the new president-elect's request was, would you be willing to sit down with me and John Boehner, Republican in the House, and Judd Gregg, Republicans in the Senate, to talk about education reform? You know, Kennedy. In July of 2003, he went out and said Bush lied about WMD.

Now, he knew that that was a lie. Kennedy had read the same intelligence, had come to the same conclusion, but gave a speech in Washington saying earlier that Sodom had WMD, but we needed to use diplomacy, not force, to rid that threat. He wanted to beat Bush, though, in 2004, and so he went out and started the drumbeat.

Now, all the Democrats picked it up. After the 2004 election, Bush called him and said. Can you, McCain, and I, talk about immigration reform? And they work for the next three years because Bush didn't take it personally. He knew that politics is a necessary element of our culture, of our democracy.

But a president has a responsibility to be the leader of all the people. Yes, he's the leader of his party, but he's also the president of the United States of America, and we, the people, are in charge.

So he was willing to put that aside. That's what we need. We need leaders who are willing to say, okay, it's Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan, and we can go at it, but we can also sit down and cut a deal that will save Social Security for the next 40 years and have a drink and tell each other Irish jokes. But, you know, we can be political enemies, but we can also be political allies. And I think that's the thing: you can't differentiate now.

Uh between someone having a discussion over policy or a personal attack. And I I think that's just Unfortunately, we kind of, as an American, I kind of have to point the finger back at ourselves because we're electing people based on feelings or auditions opposed to merit. And it's on both sides of the aisle, but I think more so we're seeing a lot of people that were elected based on Feelings and fluff, or and even worse, and I'm saying this as a black man, of their chromosome and the color of their skin, which has nothing to do with your intellect or your experience or integrity or accountability. Those are the traits that you should want when you elect an official. And we're seeing that when they get into office, you don't see laws passed.

All you see is obstruction. And I don't know. Is it do you think it's just gonna take an a An awakening, although I would think after the Biden administration with the borders and what we're seeing now with violence and some of these absurd idealisms of boys playing in women's sports and what's a woman and all these things that came about. And I think all that has to do with just basic. Human decency and accountability and common sense.

Do you? Think that we will shift away from that? Or I think it's kind of started, at least on one side, but you would think. the the Democratic Party would also start to stand up for it. I think common sense is a nonpartisan thing.

I think we all should should stare in it. And at the same time, integrity and accountability should mean something again. Yeah. Well, two things. One is, I think you're absolutely right.

I think it has started. And why has it started? Because in America, it is we, the people. And when we, the people, are unhappy with the state of American politics, we demand change. And, you know, I talk around the country.

In fact, I'm in North Carolina today to speak. But wherever I go, I say, I ask for a show of hands. How many of you are happy with the state of American politics today? Very rarely does anybody raise their hand. And ultimately, we, the people, have our way because it's we who decide at the ballot box who we want.

In other words, Political leaders are going to wake up and realize that the American people want people not who say we hate our end and we hate our political rivals, we hate the people in the other party, but instead say, I have a positive and optimistic vision for the future of my party, whether I'm a Democrat or Republican. I have an optimistic view of what our country can do, and I'm going to campaign on that. And when we start rewarding people who are more interested in telling us what it is they want to do rather than who we should hate, that party is going to start winning elections that it might otherwise be losing because the American people ultimately are in charge. The other thing that I'd say is this. We're in a bad place.

Yes. But we have been in bad places before. We were there in the 60s and 70s. We were there in the 1930s. Do you think the politics today is ugly?

Go back to the Gilded Age, an era that I've studied deeply. I mean, they hated each other because they were still fighting the Civil War. There's a brilliant book on the era of the 1830s, 40s, and 50s called Field of Blood that talks about how members of Congress routinely arrived on the floor of the House and Senate armed to the teeth and were engaged in big battles over issues, not just simply the enslavement of 4 million of our fellow Americans. But in 1838, a Whig from Kentucky kills a Democrat from Maine. Two congressmen have a duel, and one of them kills the other one.

And what is the issue at hand that they disagreed on? Banking regulations.

So we've been through these periods before. We ought to have the optimism that the American system is self-correcting because again, it is we, the people, who are in charge.

Well, you know what I Couldn't say it better myself, and I do believe this is the one. One nation that can self-correct. And I, and sir, thank you so much for your time today. It's always nice whenever I get to talk to you because, again, it's just being under the learning tree. And I appreciate your time.

Good luck on your speaking tours, and hopefully, we'll be able to do this again soon. I'd love to. Thank you, Tyrace. All the best. Yes, sir.

You too. Uh The headlines, the stories behind them, and the people who make them only on the Brian Kill Meat Show. Yeah. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead.

This is more of a, less of a bison issue as it is more of a lot of people, not as much space as we used to have.

So now we have people and wildlife, you know, crammed together like never before. And these things kind of are gonna happen out in the wild. The wild's unpredictable, and once in a while, you just get unlucky. But this time of year, as you mentioned, is the bison rut or the mating season. And those bull bison are hopped up on testosterone.

They're 2,000 pounds, they're angry. Yeah, it also sounds like some of my friends, to be honest, and maybe me on occasion back in the day. But, you know, like I said, we talked about it last night in the Guthill show and we had some fun with it. But The awesome power of Mother Nature, the awesome power of bison, and they are unbelievable. Uh animals who are of their group of the large Uh Mammals that were pretty much wiped out by the introduction of man into the United States, we lost a lot of big ones, and they were so tough they were able to withstand it.

And the great fur trade and hunting, and we're lucky to have them.

So, respect them. And If they say 24 feet, make it 50. But during the rut, The only thing on his mind is loving and if you're in the way, you're going to get freight trained. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead.

What it is. Uh is Tyrus filling in for the great B. Rai on the Brian Kilmead Show. And joining me is my partner in crime on the Gutfell Show for I think we're past a decade. Uh Long time from A bodyguard and a A uh Boston market uh Tendent, I don't know, or Barista.

No, it's not Barista, that's coffee. But, anyways, we had a lot of jobs, humble beginnings, and now we are the number one late-night comedy show. In the universe, joining me now, the one and only Cat Timph. What up? Thank you for having me on.

Thanks for coming on. First of all, I'm still laughing from the show last night. Yeah. To say you were on fire was an understatement. And you know, I was feeling really silly.

I was feeling really silly yesterday. It was a great time. And I had not seen that behavior. Um Since you were pregnant cat, because pregnant cat that got me nervous when you said that, I'm not going to lie to you. Because pregnant cat was a whole, it's another personality.

Yes. Yes. Every time, but the end of my pregnancy last time, I was just like, did it. I was completely just no filter out of control. And then when you said that to me yesterday, I'm not going to lie, you made me a little nervous.

Well, unfortunately, I also forget that everything we say On the Guffel show will end up on social media.

So there was a few, it was like I was being accused of having a Dana Perino moment. Oh, that you announced a pregnancy. Yeah, no, to be clear, to be clear. Yes, I thought that's why I had you on today. I am not pregnant that I am aware of.

So, not spoiler alert, okay? I would no, no, no, no, no, no. By the way, also, yeah, like people know the show is taped, right? Yes. Like, if that was the case, we would have cut that out.

Yeah, exactly. No, no, no, leave it in. Leave it in. But um And you live in New York. You're from Detroit, but you live in New York.

And before we get into fun stuff, because I want to talk about your tour. I know your family life is extremely private, so just a couple questions about mother without getting into too much stuff. I'm the same way. But. You know, you you're a New Yorker now and uh And you're a libertarian.

Mm-hmm. An endangered species these days, especially in New York. And Maramondami, uh, They're always going after, they want to tax the rich, they want to tax the rich. And I think it's Seg 11. I want you to hear this and just kind of get your thoughts on it real quick.

Um Yeah. You know, the first time that I met Councilwoman Carmen DeLarosa was when we were both serving in the New York State Assembly. That was the year when we were advocating to increase taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers by raising income taxes on those who made more than a million dollars across our city and state. And we were told then that if we were to do that, that we would have fewer millionaires in the years to come. And what we found is after passing that and raising billions of dollars that helped our state to finally meet the terms of the campaign for fiscal equity, that we in fact had more millionaires than we had prior.

I I don't know if that makes sense. I just can't stand the idea. First of all, he comes from a family that does pretty well, right? Yes, no, very well. Certainly better than mine.

Yes, and mine combined. And he just wants to demonize people who also want to do well for themselves. When I moved to New York, I had nothing. I lived in East Harlem in a dangerous neighborhood in a horrible apartment. There was a triple murder outside my building.

We didn't have hot water a lot of the time when I was preparing to come do my guest appearances on Red Eye, which was Greg's show at the time. And I worked really hard. And also, there's talent involved, but there's also luck involved. And there's hustle involved. And there's all these things involved and putting yourself out there and failing and failing.

And this business is obviously brutal. And for every success you get, there's 50,000 failures that you have along the way. And it's like, okay, now I'm doing well for myself. And it's like, now we want to just take all of that. And it'd be fine for me to, you know, it's not that I don't want to help people.

Who need it and wouldn't want to give money to people who are less fortunate to help them. But unfortunately, anybody who's paying attention knows that that's not where this money goes. Nobody. These yeah, these budgets are bloated. These budgets are there's people.

I went for a walk today, and it's like there's a guy walking around screaming, and he's like bleeding, and it's and nobody's helping him. And it's like, you know, eventually. you know, someone did, but it's like you this is how did that happen to this person? How are we spending all this money? And that's still a thing you can expect to see walking around the street on a Tuesday morning?

Yeah, I mean, because there's been billions of dollars put into the homeless Battle, and it seems like it's just increasing. Was the money used for recruitment? Because it's like you're not seeing any results. Right, exactly. And it's like we're like every block has feces on it.

Like there's not a block that doesn't. How are we paying this much and basic upkeep or helping, you know, people? There's a camp of people, you know, under a bridge. They're all living. They're all struck.

Where is this money going? Because you're saying, oh, you have to pay your taxes or else you're just a greedy, bad person who doesn't want to help people. And it's really the opposite. If you really want to help people, you realize that the government has not been effective. And you don't need to be some sort of economic nerd to understand that.

You just need to go outside and take a look around in any of these cities where the taxes are the highest. Look around. Does the government seem to be doing a good job? Yeah, and like I said, we talk about, like I said, our goal is to send you to bed with a smile on your face. Not necessarily have you have sitting up going, where is my tax dollars going?

But I think that's one thing: is like the amount of corruption and fraud we're seeing in the big cities. With these should be the beacons of light given the concentration, like a place like New York. Where it's so full of people working and chasing the American dream that our streets shouldn't look the way they look. And it's absolute, complete neglect and fraud. I mean, that's just where we're seeing fraud.

everywhere and that's not a uh Democrat-Republican thing. It's a political thing, although we're seeing, I think, some of the more egregious stuff right now on the extreme left, on the socialist side, which kind of makes sense. But I want to segue a little bit because one of the things that You do well, and I've been your tag team partner for a long time on it: is the art of making people laugh. And you, I have my comedy tour, the Tyrus Live tour, which is getting ready to kick off in August. You also tour.

And can you just give us like what's going on with your tour? When's the next date? And you're like me. We don't talk politics. Our life has been too wild.

So you're not going to get a night of jokes about being fiscally responsible. No, you're not. I have no political jokes, actually. All of my jokes are about life. They're about my...

experience being a mom, you know, being a wife. um, cancer, all the things I've been through, um, you know, marriage, family, all that kind of stuff. Um, and my I'm here this weekend, but I'm going to New Mexico next weekend. A couple of the shows are sold out, but we added more. There's some Tickets available to the later shows.

But I'm just, you know, going all over the country. I'm going to Hawaii after that. We just added a second show. But, you know, that's going to be amazing. Hawaii.

Yeah, Hawaii is cool. I've been there several times. Hawaii is cool. Uh Vegas. Vegas sold out, but we added like a Henderson Valley, I think it's right outside Vegas.

So it's just really great because, as you and I know, you go, if you ever make the mistake of going online, is people are so mean and they say the most messed up stuff. And it's like, you know, I generally don't look, but then I'll go, I will. And then it's like a bunch of people being nice, and then one person like saying the worst thing that you've ever seen. Or, you know, millions of people watch the show. And it's maybe like a couple hundred people that are like really awful, but they're every day.

But it's like, it's more like 15. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right. And I think it's because they are so. They attack you for attention because I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't think anyone.

I know for a fact, Greg and I do not get attacked like you do. Not even close. No, no, no, no, no. And I think a lot of it is these middle-aged, nasty men. Or these really old, angry women.

But and it's just.

Some of it is disgusting. Yeah. Some of it's really bad. Yeah, and I block them and I just cause I'm included in it. You know, I just see it, but block it, yeah.

Because you say, like, what, like, I hope that when I'm an older person, I'm not spending my time, like, on the internet trying to tear down a mother half my age. Yeah, like, where does that come from? Like, you know what? Hey, hon, we got, no, no, no, I need a few minutes. This cat temp's got to be stopped.

Right, which is like, I watch TV too. And it's like, you know, I watch reality TV and there's people on it who, you know, make mistakes or they cheat or they do this and they do that. And me and my husband will talk like on the couch and be like, oh, she's a snake, right? But I never take that extra step to be like, better let her know. Bring me the phone.

Yeah. And then better also tell her she's ugly and this and that. But then when you go and do shows in per in person and you meet people in person, that's where you get hope in the world.

So I always say, if you want, sorry.

Someone's making a smoothie. I'm sure you can make a smoothie. Oh, Cam. Cam's making smoothies. But I always say, if you want to feel bad about the world, you go online.

If you want to feel good about the world, you go out into the world and you meet people. And that's why I do meet and greets at all my shows. You meet people, you talk to them. And that's a main reason why I tour is I like meeting all the people who watch the show. I like talking to them.

And I do a mix of big theaters, but I also love doing these smaller, like smaller venues too, where I just do a bunch of shows.

So it ends up being the same number of people because I like to, you know, first of all, I can like try out some new material. But second of all, It's just like so intimate. I just feel like it feels like a big hang with everybody.

Well, I love doing because my thing is I like going to haunted theaters with like lots of history and stuff. Oh, that's cool. You know, and so I do the same thing, and I always do meet and grease too. Also, I get a lot of material. On meet and greets, because you met some very interesting people, wild stories.

And our shows kind of cry we have fans who go to both shows and then they will come up to let me know. I was at Cat Show. Please tell her. And so they usually wear your half a veteran shirt. I think that's the shirt that I typically see.

And it's like it's funny because and or when people Who haven't been to one of your shows yet that come to my shows? They always, the first question they ask is, How's Cat? What's Cat like? You know, so it's like, but. I love the fact that um The traveling, you also get a good pulse for America.

It's one thing to go on TV every night and give your two cents. And it's all based off stories you read. I don't think, unless you've actually been to small towns in Ohio, small towns in Kansas, small towns in Nebraska, and then California, and been around the states, I think you can then give an accurate depiction. of what's really going on because social media is not it. Yeah.

Exactly, absolutely. And that's another reason why I do it is because you do, I've been all over the country at this point, which is why I was also, I went to the Middle East, and I can't say which country, but I went to the Middle East to do stand-ups on the 4th of July. And, you know, I spent the whole day talking with the troops. And it's like so many of us, we talk about the troops. And it's like, but how much time are we spending with the troops?

And then the men and women who are human beings who are out there who have agreed to make this sacrifice, who are people who are sons, who are brothers, who are friends, who are fathers. And I think that the more you can do to get out there and meet people and see things for yourself, the better off we are. Because the internet, you'll want to kill yourself. You spend too much time online. No, and the worst thing is, and not just the negative stuff, if you start believing all the positive stuff, you then will get complacent.

Yes, exactly. Exactly. And think you make it because I am traveling around. And seeing different things, I always get a much better grasp of what people because people talk. And the one thing that's our type of celebrity is a little different than someone who they see in movies, right?

And when I say that is, they see us every night. Yeah. And we're a part of their household.

So when they see us, they know us. Because what you see is what you get. It's not like when you and I walk off the set, it's like, oh, well, that was terrible. And I have an English accent all of a sudden. You know what I'm saying?

It's like you see exactly who you wear it on your sleeve.

So when they see you, they want to talk. It's like a relative that they haven't seen in years in a lot of cases. And I think that's a beautiful thing about our show: I think, one, no one's not coming. And the fact that we've been able to maintain it and not lose our minds and not get caught up because entertainment is brutal. You know, it is absolutely brutal.

If you don't actually make an effort to go out there and be a person, then it will destroy your soul. It will. This business. We've seen them. We've walked by him in the hallway.

It's like walking. Hello. You have to decide. You have to make a decision and say, my soul and my humanity is important to me, and I'm going to prioritize it. Otherwise, you will lose it in this business.

And you got to get away from it. You know, spend time with your kids.

Now, of course, and you, I think, if anyone asked you. To describe me like w uh I think they'd be surprised at what your answer would be. Yeah, you're a father first, right? I mean, you're a great dad and your kids are your number one priority. Even for you, at times, can be logistically difficult.

You don't let that be an excuse, whereas a lot of guys would.

So I always give you props for that. And you are, first of all, you and Cam. Best friends, married. You did it right. And now you have an amazing bundle of joy in the world.

Just in the minute I got you left, what is probably the biggest change for you? Um as a mother. Yeah, it's just that you're a mom all the time. You know, it's like I obviously work, so I'm not a full-time mom, but just because you're, but I still am. You know what I'm saying?

Even when I'm not there, I'm still thinking about him. I'm still responsible for him, regardless of whether you're working or not working. And shout out to all the moms who stay home. It's the hardest job in the world.

So those are definitely the true heroes. But I would also say it is. It is your priority. It is your responsibility. It is the number one thing that you're thinking about and the number one responsibility that you have, regardless of what you're doing.

There are no breaks, even when you have a break. And that, you know what? And you know a lot about number one because we're the number one late night comedy show. And hey, Kat, I know you're busy. You got a million things going on.

Thanks so much for coming on today. Great talking with you. Always fun. And I'll see you later on. Yeah, see you later.

All right, this is Tyrus filling in for B-Rye on the Brian Kilmead Show. Increasing your intelligence quotient. What the hell did you just say? It's Brian Kilmead. He's so busy, he'll make your head spin.

It's Brian Kilmead. I just paid Shakur Stevenson a load of money, and for some reason we can't figure this celebrity out. They put him up as a f ⁇ ing OKC NBA player. Are you fing kidding me? I mean, it's just, it's absolutely crazy.

But when we put celebrities up, we are the worst. I just had this f ⁇ ing debate in the back with my guys while I was screaming at everybody back there. And they said, no, soccer's worse.

Soccer shows the people and they don't put up any graphics. Oh, no. We put up fing graphics and put the wrong guy's name on it. Because I want Sharks with freaking laser beams on their head. Honestly, honestly, throw me a bone here, people.

This was brilliant. Dana White is brilliant. This is the most awesome thing. You just had a lackluster main event. People are mad and upset.

The Shakura Stevens, who was, I think, pound for pound. Top two. In the world. What a steal. Congratulations to them.

But All the stuff that could have been the media could have been framed about, they're talking about what? Dana White going off. He protected his staff. He made it. No one can get madder than him.

Brilliant, sir.

Well played.

Well played.

But seriously, throw him a freaking bone here, people.
